Great news, Drew.
We may never know the big plan, but sometimes it sure is nice to be allowed to participate.

Hang in there.
I was going to tell my story but you had told us not to respond to your earlier post so I held off.
My story, it's long but worth it:
In 2008 SWMBO (about 60 at the time) was a tad overweight and had been working REALLY long hours as a Real Estate Attorney for the Corps of Engineers in DC. She was trying to get some regulations through. By quirks of fate our then 24 yr old daughter was living at home and they carpooled into DC. She came down to go to work and found my wife flustered and weak in one arm. She immediately got her in the car and over to emergency, about 1 mile, and called me. I worked 1 mile away, so rushed over.
My wife had a small stroke, a small clot. She spent about 2 days in intensive care and was released, seemingly fine. She came home for a bit of rest and recuperation.
About 3 weeks later about when she was starting back to work she had a doctor's appointment. She drove herself etc. When I got home from work, about 1510, she complained she had felt light headed at the Doctors. Which caused me to spit nails and fire. I finally convinced her to let me take her to emergency again.
This time she had had a pretty bad stroke. A bleeder. My memory doesn't serve me well but she/we spent about a week in the ICU. They would let me sleep there as long as I sat upright and responded when spoken to. At several points they convinced me to seriously plan on funeral arrangements. She couldn't move or talk. She finally got well enough to move parts of her left side and respond to us, but couldn't always recognize us.
They then moved her to a critical care facility. That was a relief because they would let me sleep in a chair beside her. She regained partial use of her left side, but her right side (and she was right handed) was numb.
I hope to never forget the day she twitched her little finger on the right side. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Through sheer determination and months of physical therapy she gradually regained virtually all muscle control. During the entire recuperation process she would complain about not being able to do something and I would respond "Yes, I know, you can only leap small buildings".
Another thing stands out. One of the "tests" the doctors used on her recovery was if she could snap her fingers. I wasn't there the first time they tested her. But I came in on it the third or fourth time they tested her. She couldn't do it and was about at tears with the doctor standing there urging her to snap her fingers. I almost shouted at the doctor "SHE NEVER COULD SNAP HER FINGERS", as long as I have known her. But she was trying for the doctor and wouldn't admit she never could before the stroke. She can't whistle worth a hoot and never could either.
That was early 2009, now 4 years later she had worked for a few more years, retired in 2011 and is presently down in Mississippi overseeing repairs at our retirement abode and visiting her mother (who's about 88 and still very active). She drives and is almost 100% recovered. She just get's a little dizzy when she cranes her neck, so I tell her - don't crane your neck. I'm planning on her being around another thirty years.
And she now leaps two story buildings
So Drew - HANG IN THERE
Really happy to read she's getting better.
